Service Dates
Saturday 11 am- 12 noon
A lot of folks are under the misconception that one must be in a committed relationship to provide service. That’s no more true than the idea that one needs to be in a committed relationship in order to be flogged. A service date is just like a regular playdate, except instead of S&M or rope or whatever, the date is about service. This strikes a lot of people as an epiphany, that we can do this. But we can. And it can be very good for us, particularly for single or long distance s-types, as well as d-types.
In this class, you’ll learn about how to arrange and negotiate service dates, different ways to serve, and how to disconnect after the service date is over. There will also be ademo on how to do a service date in a public restaurant.​

D/S in Poly Dynamics
Sunday Noon- 1PM
Power dynamic relationships can be challenging.
Poly relationships can be challenging.
What happens when you put them together? This class will be a discussion of different ways to do poly in conjunction with a power dynamic relationship. There is no one way to do either of those types of relationships, so knowing of different ways these relationships work for others gives us more options to create relationships in which we can thrive.
